A global fashion retailer has opened its first store in North Wales. Mango opened at Broughton Shopping Park with bosses describing it as a "fantastic addition".
They have taken on a unit left empty when shoe retailer Clarks left despite a petition by shoppers to save it. The unit had been left empty since then.
It is part of an expansion by the international fashion group in the UK. The 4,000 sq ft store offers Mango's women's line exclusively, from clothing to accessories and footwear.
Alan Pruden-Barker, centre manager at Broughton, said: 'It's incredibly exciting to welcome visitors into our new Mango store and we feel very proud to have been selected as the brand's first destination in North Wales.
'As a leading international fashion name, we know it will be a big hit with visitors. It's a fantastic addition to the centre - especially as visitors look to enhance their summer wardrobes - and further strengthens our growing fashion offer.'
A Mango spokesperson said: "The fit out is based on a Mediterranean-inspired concept, New Med, which showcases the brand's spirit and freshness. Sustainability and architectural integration are key in the new design, which conceives the Mango store as a Mediterranean home with different rooms with a predominance of warm tones and neutral colours, combined with traditional, handcrafted, sustainable, and natural materials."
Broughton shopping park opened in June 1999 with 300,000 square feet of shops and 16 initial retailers.
The site now has around 40 retailers as well as a leisure and restaurant complex.

Manage your finances to sail serenely into retirement
Sailing into retirement | Flamingo Images - From 7 April this year, the full State Pension was boosted by an inflation-busting 4.1 per cent to £230.25 per week. That's £11,973 per annum at age 66 for those who qualify.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... The increase is appreciated, but this level of income may not be adequate to fund a decent standard of living in retirement. And yet, according to 2024 research conducted by Aegon, more than 95 per cent of UK retirees claim to rely heavily on their State Pension income – a sobering thought. HOW MUCH RETIREMENT INCOME WILL YOU NEED? The answer is clearly much more than the State Pension, but how much more? The good news is that we are near the start of the financial tax year, which means annual investment tax relief allowances are available again. Especially those designed to boost your retirement pot, where you can invest up to £60,000 this tax year and claim tax relief at your highest marginal rate. So this is the perfect time to ask yourself that crucial retirement income question, but can you provide an accurate answer? According to research by the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association only 23 per cent of people in the UK are confident that they know how much they need to save to provide them with the retirement lifestyle they desire. If your financial planner has invested in a cash flow modelling system, then this isn't a problem as they can provide you with all the guidance you need. This modelling can help you accurately calculate the cost of funding your chosen retirement income. This calculation is vital. It helps you create a detailed and accurate financial plan which allows you to best use your current income and growing wealth both now and well into your retirement future. Such a system can also alert you to when remedial action needs to be taken to keep your plans on track. According to the Office for National Statistics, the average value of a private pension fund in the UK today is £81,000. Using the conservative 4.6 per cent yield that Aegon used in their 2024 research, that would add just £3,726 to the State Pension raising the annual retirement income to £15,699. That is just 36 per cent of the £43,100 level which is described as 'comfortable ' by the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association. Its definition of a comfortable retirement lifestyle is one where your annual holidays would consist of one two-week Mediterranean trip plus three long UK weekend breaks, and the ability to afford to replace a car every five years. It would represent a retirement income that is just £5,670 a year more than the 2024 UK average salary of £37, you will need to get your sums right now to better that level. But, without access to a cash flow model, how can you accurately calculate the pension pot size you will need to achieve your retirement income objectives? Why not keep your retirement income target simple and aim for, say, double the Pension and Lifetime Savings Association's comfortable lifestyle level?That would equate to an annual retirement income of £86,200, including your full State Pension. It would immediately take you high into the top 10 per cent of income earners in the UK, and would certainly fund a more 'luxurious' lifestyle in retirement. Sean Lowson | Supplied BUT CAN YOU AFFORD IT? According to the same 2024 Aegon research, a pension pot of about £250,000 would be needed to provide you with just the same level of income as the State Pension for that year, £11,500 (based on an annuity escalating with inflation). An annuity may not be the best solution for everyone, and you should certainly discuss all your alternative retirement options with your financial planner before making any said, this is still a useful rule of thumb to provide you with a simplified formula to help you estimate the fund value you might need. Assuming receipt of the full State Pension provision of £11,973, you would need an additional retirement pot of around £1.6 million to reach a retirement income of £86,200 per annum, rising with inflation. This formula is obviously a very much simplified calculation, but without such ball-park estimates you cannot gauge whether your current retirement dreams are fact or fiction. As global trade tariff uncertainty and conflicts rage on, further investment fluctuation is inevitable. There is also the possibility that future budgets may see Chancellor Rachel Reeves tinkering with some of the significant tax relief benefits your pension currently enjoys. So, it is clearly vital to get your retirement plan on a realistic track now, and a financial planner providing you with access to cash flow modelling would certainly make your task much easier.

Five essential things to know before boarding an Explora Journeys ship
If you think cruising means corny entertainment, greasy buffets and lengthy bridge contests, then chances are you haven't experienced Explora Journeys yet. Inspired by the sleek design of private yachts, this new kid on the block wants to inspire those who 'don't do cruises' to give holidays-at-sea a try. This ethos is reflected in the line's choice of terminology, with 'guests' rather than 'passengers', and 'hosts' instead of 'crew'. Explora Journeys, the ultra-luxury arm of the MSC Group, sees its ships more as high-end hotels that just happen to be on water, as evidenced by the Buccellati boutiques, marble bathrooms and Emilio Isgrò artwork on board. The brand has also made a deliberate decision to hire staff from a luxury hospitality background wherever possible, so don't be surprised when intuitive employees (there's an impressive ratio of 1.25:1 guest-to-crew) remember your name or your favourite drink. What's more, Explora Journeys is truly all-inclusive, so you don't have to worry about forking out extra for drinks, food, fitness classes, tips or Wi-Fi. In short, the brand has attained its goal of offering all the trappings of the world's leading luxury hotels – a sophisticated aesthetic, first-class service and superlative restaurants and bars – on the high seas. 1. Where does Explora Journeys cruise? Explora I will sail the Mediterranean until November 2025, when she will then reposition to the Red Sea and Arabian Peninsula for winter 2025-2026. Sister ship, Explora II, will spend summer 2025 in the Mediterranean and winter 2025-2026 in the Eastern Caribbean. Explora III which, as the name suggests, is the third ship in the line's growing fleet, will debut in summer 2026 and offer itineraries throughout northern Europe, Iceland and Greenland before making its way to North America 's east coast. For the winter 2026/27 season, the ship will shift to Miami, where it will embark on a series of Caribbean itineraries. While the line emphasises longer itineraries that visit lesser-known ports, and then stay late/overnight, it has also introduced regular, shorter seven night journeys for those who have limited time. In addition, Explora offers what it terms 'experiences' as opposed to 'excursions'. These include a meeting with an astronaut from Nasa in Florida and a hike along the Tet Paul nature trail in St Lucia to see the island's icons – the Unesco-protected Pitons. 2. Who does Explora Journeys appeal to? New-to-cruise guests who are attracted to the brand for what it is not: blaring night clubs, blingy casinos and petty extra charges. That being said, while the line isn't looking to attract passengers from other cruise lines, it would nonetheless appeal to fans of small ship, luxury cruising offered by the likes of Seabourn, Silversea, and Crystal – as well as those who have stayed in ship-within-a-ship venues on mainstream lines and are looking to try something new. Explora Journeys – as its name alludes – is also a good choice for anyone looking for a little more from their annual leave than merely sitting by a pool all day. Itineraries blend well-known destinations, such as Athens, with lesser-travelled ports, and offer guests the opportunity to feel part of the place they are visiting. Small-group trips are led by local experts who know that the most memorable and magical experiences are often about meeting the community, rather than simply tickling off the blockbuster sights. 3. Explora Journey's fleet Explora Journeys currently has two ships in its fleet with four more – Exploras III, IV V, and VI – slated to follow over the next few years. Explora II (922 passengers) From a distance, the line's newest ship, Explora II, resembles a superyacht (perhaps not a surprise, given that its aquiline profile was crafted by veteran British yacht designer Martin Francis). Step on board, however, and it's like walking into a five-star resort. Expect a glittering white-and-gold, double-height lobby bar with a back-lit drinks wall; the open-air Sky Bar; bespoke artwork by Emilio Isgrò and Yves Dana dotted around the decks; four swimming pools – one with a retractable rooftop; numerous hot tubs; and upmarket shops in the shape of Piaget, Panerai, Cartier and Buccellati. Elsewhere, the cabins are all suites – starting at a spacious 35 square metres for an entry-level Ocean Terrace Suite. This comes equipped with a king size bed, Frette linens, Steiner binoculars, a walk-in dressing area featuring a Dyson hairdryer, marble bathroom with underfloor heating and bespoke Mandala Blue toiletries; plus a separate living area leading to a terrace with a supremely comfortable Manutti daybed. Explora I (922 passengers) The first ship from Explora Journeys is almost identical to its sibling. Four pools are complemented by numerous whirlpools, while extensive workout areas – indoor and out – have Technogym equipment. Spread over 14 decks, you'll find a spacious spa whose inviting thermal areas – including a salt cave, vitality pool and experiential showers – are free to access on port days, as well as extensive workout areas filled with swanky Technogym equipment. The ship has 12 bars and six restaurants: standouts include the pan-Asian Sakura where you can watch the chefs at work in the open kitchen, Marble & Co (a smart steakhouse) and Emporium Marketplace – Explora's upmarket take on the buffet. All dining venues are included in the fare, with the exception of Anthology – three Michelin star Italian chef Mauro Uliassi's first restaurant at sea. Entertainment is low-key with a pianist tinkling at a Steinway in the lobby bar, while West End and Broadway veterans perform songs from everyone's favourite musicals and movies in Journeys Lounge. 4. Loyalty scheme In April 2025, Explora Journeys revealed a new loyalty programme. The Explora Club has five tiers and allows guests to earn points that can then be converted into perks such as priority service and access to exclusive events, or used towards future sailings. 5. Access for guests with disabilities The line has fully-accessible suites and, in certain ports, offers accessible destination experiences. Explora Journeys asks that: 'Any guests in need of special services during their journey, or needing to travel with medical apparatus, including wheelchairs, motorised scooters or oxygen therapy [...] please notify us in writing prior to final payment becoming due.'

Highland Park mural on Kirkwall shop may soon disappear as distillers plan new paint job
The large mural on the side of Kirkwall's Highland Park shop may be about to disappear. The whisky distillery has submitted plans to Orkney Islands Council which would see its Albert Street shop undergo a change in colour scheme. Much of the shop's exterior would be changed from the current blue-grey colour to 'Wimborne white.' This would have the shop align with the re-branding the company unveiled last October. Highland Park says the new look was created to allow it to celebrate its Orkney roots more. The shop's large Viking-inspired mural on the shop's gable end became an eye-catching addition to the high street when the company took over the premises in 2019. However, under the new plans, it would be replaced by a more basic Highland Park logo with 'single malt scotch whisky' underneath. The front-facing signage would also be repainted, maintaining dark colouring. New lettering would be fitted as well. While this may signal the disappearance of one mural from Kirkwall's high street, planning permission has just been given for another. The soon-to-open Garden Square development will be adding one designed by artist Lauren Morsley. Highland Park's shop serves as a town centre hub for visiting tourists while the distillery is located on the outskirts of Kirkwall. The shop has been particularly useful for the company over the past year while the distillery has been closed to tours and tastings. This was while work was done to make the distillery more environmentally friendly. It is estimated the project will cut the carbon emissions of the site by about 20%. Highland Park's planning application for its new mural on its Kirkwall shop is now with Orkney Island's Council's planning department, awaiting a decision.
